Early Morning Traffic Accidents in Columbus
Crashes that occur during early morning hours—such as this one on McKinney Ave—are often linked to low visibility, reduced alertness, or limited traffic presence that can lead drivers to misjudge speed or spacing. These conditions increase the risk of collisions, particularly at intersections where traffic signals may be flashing or deactivated.
To address these risks, Ohio safety officials emphasize the need for heightened caution before sunrise. Slowing down in low-light areas, scanning intersections carefully, and eliminating distractions are all key strategies for avoiding early-morning crashes. Emergency crews are trained for rapid response in these situations, but preventive action remains the most effective safeguard.
